His office would only say he was in the nation's capital. And nothing else.

But The Auditor knows Christie — a possible 2016 presidential contender — was in the building of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, considered the nation's biggest business organization.

It was caught on a video posted on the website LiveLeak.com. The video's narrator, talking about climate change, chided the occupants of an official New Jersey state car for leaving it locked and idling outside the U.S. Chamber of Commerce building. Then it showed a van and "a bunch of guys from New Jersey" — walking out of the building — including, the video shows, the governor.

Aside from acknowledging the governor was in Washington, Christie's office is keeping mum on any other details of the trip, which wasn’t disclosed on the governor's public schedule.

Blair Latoff Holmes, spokeswoman for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, told The Auditor that Christie was in the building "for a private meeting" but stressed he was not meeting with chamber officials.

She said any further details would have to come from — you guessed it — Christie's office.
